Mohawk Moving & Storage has been a trusted adviser to thousands of customers in thousands of locations. Our experience encompasses 75 years of professional moving, packing, and storage services, and we continue to provide innovative and cost effective transportation solutions for our customers.

"I am in the middle of a move with Mohawk righty now and would not recommend them. They committed to delivering our household a week ago and they still have not done so. Even worse, they won’t commit to a new date - saying they have no idea when they can get it here. My calls with them are all words - no action or real support. They were very prompt at taking our cash up front - I wish they were even close to that diligent in delivering their services. Truly - they are the weak link on our move adding so much stress as we sit in our new home with nothing here, and having ti buy stuff everyday just to stay here."

"Super well. They were careful and considerate of our home and the things being moved. The packers were amazing and efficient. Everything made it in one piece - nothing broke! Nothing was lost!

"These gentlemen were absolutely top notch. Quickly responsive to my inquiry, punctual, extremely careful with more fragile objects, lightning fast, very professional in their moving techniques (used belts & equipment, etc. to prevent injury and seemed to know exactly how to lift things in the most efficient manner). The second job didn't take too long, but I had paid for a minimum amount of time, and so they helped with furniture re-arranging and even picture hanging--which they also did very professionally. They were also friendly and good-natured. I have recommended them to several friends."

"Perfect! Jeff was super responsive to my request for a quote for the service and was able to squeeze me into his schedule in order to move our piano. Not only did Jeff move the piano, but went the extra mile and actually took the piano components outside and cleaned them out before reassembling the piano in its new location. Top it off, he gave a short concert before leaving!"

FAQs for piano moving projects in Minneapolis, MN

Before your piano movers arrive, it’s a good idea to prep the piano for its journey to avoid damage, as well as clear a path to make the move as easy as possible. You can start by using bubble wrap and moving blankets to protect the keys, lids, and pedals. Drape moving blankets over the piano and secure them, if possible, to protect the surface from damage. Next, clear furniture and other obstructions out of the path from the piano to the door. It’s also wise to maintain a close spot for the moving truck to park out front.

Yes, it is absolutely worth it to hire piano movers. Pianos are heavy and bulky, which makes them very challenging to move safely and without causing damage to the piano and your home. Hiring piano movers is especially worthwhile if you need to move the instrument up or down staircases, as that can put you and your helpers at risk of serious injury. Overall, the price you’ll pay to hire a professional piano mover pales in comparison to the damage you could do to your piano or your home if you attempt the move yourself.

It is not necessary to tip piano movers, and workers from reputable companies generally won’t expect tips. However, if you’re pleased with the service and the movers are friendly and respectful, tipping can show your appreciation for how well the crew cared for what is likely a very expensive instrument. Tipping between $20 and $40 per mover is about average.

It is certainly possible to move a piano without hiring movers, but it’s not recommended. Not only will you need at least four people to lift and maneuver the piano, but getting it around tight corners and down flights of stairs might not be possible without the help of movers. Plus, pianos are exceptionally heavy and bulky, which means you and any helping hands are at risk of injury, as well as an increased risk of damaging your piano. Ultimately, it’s always worth it to call in a professional piano mover.

The average cost to move a piano is around $400, but your total will depend on the type of piano and your living situation—tight corners and flights of stairs will complicate the move. Moving an upright piano will be more affordable—around $250—and a full grand piano will cost closer to $550. Long-distance moves will bump all of these prices up and sometimes double them if the move is across state lines.
